in comparison with superman's stunning debut, Batman's feels a bit more lackluster, however his design is brilliant, and the gritty street level detective is missing from many modern comic books.

Alright, there's the payoff, the contrasting ways of operating is so fun to see, Sinestro dressed as a Jester is hilarious, and the rest of the cast just seem to show their relationships between eachother a lot clearer than ever before.

Sure, the plot isn't the most riveting, but the art is beautiful, Sinestro's return feels deeply menacing, at least momentarily, and the moments between Green Arrow and Black Canary are just perfect.

Sinestro is smarmier than ever, and his team-up with Star Sapphire is a lot of fun. Lots of great art here again, but not too much plotwise, especially since Sinestro's return feels kind of out of place.

Hey Hal, what's wrong with a black mayor? Also what a drastic improvement not only in art, but in characterization. Hal's ex troubles are funny, especially with her waving some clear red flags, but beyond the gorgeous art there isn't too much happening here.

Yes, this is the first Sinestro comic in half a decade since his last appearance. Yes, he is a talking car. Don't ask.



ALso a debut of some kind of proto-sinestro corps. Doiby is a lot, and honestly drags this issue down a lot for me. His inclusion just feels so odd.

Man what evil shit is Gypo doing to compete with Sinestro's truly "dastardly" deeds. This is definitely the most boring issue yet, but tiny Sinestro at the end is worth it.

Sinestro....polling? With his cigar-toting manager? This is lovely and dumb. Hal should find a way around this horrible Yellow allergy he has, because Sinestro keeps playing him for a fool. I love silver age comics, but in comics like Batman, I feel as if the stupid antics can be at least unique or charming, here it's getting a bit repetitive, but I still enjoyed it heavily.
